Text] Chapter 53 Hidden dangers and imperial edict——
Half a month later, liquor was widely sold in Ross City, where adventurers gathered, the Sunset Fortress, and all the big cities in the Eastern Province, and it was expanding outward at a terrifying speed. Liquor was also naturally sold.
It has become the hottest topic in these areas. Every time a noble gathers, the host will bring out liquor to entertain the distinguished guests. If he cannot bring it out, he will be ridiculed and regarded as a symbol of lack of strength.
As for adventurers and mercenaries, as soon as they arrive at the tavern, they will be served a few kilograms of liquor. After eating, they will also take away a few kilograms. Liquor can help them resist the cold in cold places, and it can also give them these
People who put their heads on K-belts are emboldened. More importantly, white wine can help them relieve their pain when they are injured. And applying white wine to the wound can prevent the wound from becoming inflamed. With white wine, they can
The danger when doing tasks can be reduced a little.
It is precisely because of the wide range of uses of liquor that the demand for it seriously exceeds supply in these areas. Many nobles and adventurers want to buy more, but there is no way. While the merchants are making a lot of money, they are also complaining about why there is so little.
! Otherwise, you can make a lot more money. The wine seller from Haisenling saw this situation and raised the price again and again. The most expensive one actually sold for 500 gold coins per catty, and he made a fortune.
After that, everyone recruited experts from all walks of life to strengthen their own strength. Among them, the tavern owner with a hundred Heisen leaders was the most popular. Because they got a large amount of liquor, they all found that they were selling liquor this time.
If you make a fortune, your strength will increase greatly.
However, they also saw the crisis from this huge profit, that is, their strength was too different from that of the Holy Dragon Empire, other nobles on the mainland, and the chamber of commerce, so they consciously united together to form a merchant alliance.
Old John was elected as the Great Elder, responsible for mediating matters within the business alliance.
At the same time, they began to use the money they earned this time to recruit high-level adventurers and mercenaries, and purchase a large amount of weapons and supplies to expand their strength. The reason why they chose Old John as the Great Elder instead of the leader was because of the leader's
The position is reserved for the lords. They know that the basis of the business alliance is to sell liquor. Without the participation of the lords, everything they do will be of little use.
Because of the liquor, Maple Leaf City has attracted the attention of nobles, adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants in all the liquor sales areas. The huge profits from liquor have attracted adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, and aristocratic cronies from all over the country, and they have flocked to Maple Leaf City.
. Some of them plan to come here to dig for gold and see if they can make a fortune, some plan to do some Russian business here and make a lot of money, some come here to inquire about information, and some even plan to get involved here.
Morays, in short, they came to Haisen Territory with their own purposes, making the originally desolate area of Haisen Territory suddenly lively.
In the past half month, Li Jiawang has lived a very proud and unrestrained life. The continuous sales of liquor and the continuous flow of gold coins into Li Jiawang's pocket have made his originally somewhat empty wallet bulge again. At the same time, Maple Leaf City's
Infrastructure has quickly appeared in the city due to the investment of a large amount of gold coins. Now all the roads in the city have been built according to the plan. Underground roads, drainage channels, etc., urban infrastructure have also been completed, and such as large hotels and commercial buildings
, the shops along the main road are still under construction, but with the efforts of millions of people, it is about to be completed. At the same time, the satellite cities around Maple Leaf City have also begun to select sites, and are preparing to wait for the buildings in Maple Leaf City to be completed.
Construction.
A large number of people poured in from outside and were shocked when they saw the majestic Maple Leaf City. They really didn't expect that such a poor place could have such a large city, and it was built in such a short period of more than a month.
They are all a little confused now. Is this the Haishen Territory? However, the large number of dilapidated houses outside Maple Leaf City, as well as the large number of orcs and barbarians working in the city, all remind them that this is indeed the Haishen Territory.
The changes in Haishen Territory gave these newcomers a huge shock and made them full of curiosity and adventure.
Soon, these people who poured into Hessen Land discovered that although Maple Leaf City was majestic, the internal hotels, housing and other places for them to live had not yet been built. They had nowhere to live. They had no choice but to stay temporarily.
Live in dilapidated houses outside the city, and wait for the hotel in the city to be built before moving in. In this way, the orcs and barbarians outside Maple Leaf City have another income, and at the same time, with the influx of a large number of people
After entering, all the original pubs and restaurants in Maple Leaf City were full, and they all made a lot of money.
However, the influx of these adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, and various noble spies, while bringing gold coins to the residents of Maple Leaf City, also made the public security situation in the city worse, especially those who are brave
The fierce adventurers and mercenaries kept fighting and fighting, giving Li Jiawang a headache.
As a last resort, we had to expand the size of the security team in advance and convert 5,000 members of the reserve team into the security team. At the same time, we sent 100 members of the Guards and 10 level nine experts into the security team to let them control the security team.
, and suppressed those high-level adventurers at the same time. After suppressing the provocations of the two ninth-level adventurers, the unruly high-level adventurers knew that there were experts in the lord's mansion, so they restrained their behavior and stopped taking the initiative to provoke.
At this point, the security in the city improved and calmed down.
However, behind this calmness, there is a huge force. Once the time is right, a h-nlu-n will erupt that sweeps through the entire Maple Leaf City. Those noble spies have led Heisen to at least ten ninth-level strong men.
The adventurers, mercenaries, and businessmen were also waiting for the big shot who wanted to know the recipe for great white wine to appear. For a time, people in Maple Leaf City kept asking for information, but there was nothing.
, deliberate provocation and mischief occurred. For this reason, Li Jiawang had no choice but to call everyone and hold a small meeting to discuss the situation in Maple Leaf City and how to deal with it, hoping to find a suitable method to solve the current unstable situation.
"Sir, the intention of these people is very simple. They just want to fish in troubled waters. They think that our territory does not have enough strength to protect the formula of liquor, so they have illusions and bring hidden dangers to the territory. As long as we show
, is powerful enough to protect the liquor formula, then these little ones will not have any illusions in their hearts, and will just stay in the city honestly and not dare to stir up trouble." Guo Jia said briefly.
"Then how do we show our strength and how much strength can we show in order to obtain the greatest benefits?" Li Jiawang nodded in agreement after hearing this, and asked with concern. It is difficult to grasp this issue. If the strength shown is too small, it will not be able to control it.
Those who are greedy will show too much strength and expose the strength of the territory, which will give the enemies of the territory an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Before Guo Jia could answer, he saw a member of the Guards running into the conference hall in a hurry. When he saw this familiar brother breaking into the conference hall without any rules, Peter thought anxiously: What happened, the lord must be sure
If you want to be angry, before the meeting, your Excellency said that no one is allowed to break into the conference hall. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to help his brother to plead for mercy. Before he could think of it, he heard the member of the Guards saying hurriedly: "
Lord, your Majesty has an imperial edict. The sh-guards who came with the edict are waiting in the hall. I came here to inform you to pick up the edict."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. After seeing the m-hu-s- on each other's faces, they all looked at Li Jiawang, hoping that he could give everyone an explanation. Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves
, Li Jiawang smiled and said, "You don't know what this imperial edict is about, and I don't know either. Let's go out together to see what this sudden imperial edict is about." After saying that, he suspended the meeting and took the lead.
He followed everyone out of the conference hall and walked outside.dd
